Viva Portugal!

May 5, 2018 at 1:00 pm–7:00 pm

Now in its third year, “Viva Portugal” is a free celebration of Portuguese art and culture in the Southcoast. To create this “festa” or street party, ‘The Z’ harnessed the power of 12 local Portuguese-American organizations to laud the cultural heritage that defines the region. Four downtown New Bedford blocks are filled with people from all walks of life enjoying the tastes, sights and sounds of Portuguese culture, including lectures on the contributions of Portuguese-Americans, readings, live music, cooking demos, folkloric dance and more.
